In this paper a rigorous electromagnetic characterization of the setup for measuring the THz power radiated by pulsed photoconductive antenna is discussed. Such characterization is expressed in terms of efficiencies which quantify how much power is lost in the coupling between the various components involved in the measurement setup. The conducted analysis highlights how such efficiencies affect the...
Photo-excited charge carriers at semiconductor surfaces generate pulses of terahertz (THz) radiation. By mapping the spatial distribution of the THz radiation in the near-field and the angular emission pattern in the far-field, we link the THz generation process to the photo-current direction. We find that inplane carrier dynamics play an important role and can even be the dominant source of THz radiation.
We measure the sampling coherence between a quantum cascade laser and a reference femtosecond laser. In addition to complete and incomplete sampling coherence, quantum cascade lasers can exhibit partial sampling coherence that varies with time.
Electro-optic sampling in ZnTe is used to phase-lock the line of a 2.5 THz quantum cascade laser to the repetition rate of a femtosecond fibre laser and to perform an absolute measurement of the laser emission frequency.
